Countersinking and counterboring are best performed using tools with replaceable inserts. Cooling water is also required. Always use a revolving pilot. When countersinking reduce the cutting speed and feed by 30%.

armox armour plate can be bent both by V-die bending and by roller bending. armox plates should be bent at room temperature to avoid reduction of mechanical and ballistic properties. Other factors that may aect the bending results are as follow: ^ Top tool radius (R). ^ Die opening (W). ^ Die edge radius and its hardness. ^ Bending force. The easier the plate slides on the die edge, the better the concentration of bending force. Between 10 and 25% lower bending forces have been achieved by lubrication. The table below shows the relationship between bending radius (R), die opening (W) and plate thickness (t).

Workshop recommendations

This leaflet contains general suggestions and calculation models. SSAB Oxelsund AB does hereby expressly exclude any liability whatsoever for their suitability for individual applications. It is the responsibility of the user of the leaflet to adapt the recommendations contained herein to the requirements of individual applications.
Drilling can be performed using high-speed steel drills or cemented carbide drills.To achieve a successful drilling operation, minimize vibrations and increase the wear life/time of tools, proceed as follows : T|ghten the workpiece rmly against a stable foundation. The workpiece should be placed as close as possible to the main support. Use short drills and a short drilling head. Be careful at break through because machine play and springback can easily break the drill tip. Release feed until machine play/springback has been compensated for and then turn on the feed again.This could save many drill tips when using HSS-Co drills. Use plenty of lubricant.

Tapping
With the correct tools tapping can be performed in all armox grades. We recommend four-lipped taps which can withstand the very high torque which occurs during tapping in hard materials. If the strength is not critical, the drilled hole can be 3% larger than standard.This increases the life of the tap, as will the use of tap oil.
